Babywearing has been practiced for centuries all around the world, and despite today's "stroller driven" culture, we're committed to bringing it back! Supporting the outer womb in the fourth trimester after the baby is born, creates ample skin to skin contact which is so important for your baby's growth and development. Babywearing encourages this nurturing space, while providing
many other benefits.

Not only is babywearing an amazing hands-free parenting tool and bonding experience, it's also a great way to keep your baby engaged, interactive and close to you all at the same time. You can wear your baby from day one to toddlerhood and onwards. Full Circle Birth Collective's Labour Doula, Vanessa Shynkaruk, is a certified babywearing consultant, and founder of her business,
Bring it Baby - Babywearing Services. Vanessa will be providing scheduled classes, which will educate you on the various carriers and wraps to help get you started.

Our Certified Babywearing Educator, Vanessa Shynkaruk, provides one-on-one, in-home, private consultations, group sessions, and classes. She'll bring her supplies which include a variety of wraps for you to try as well as a demo doll to practice with, if you would like the option. Woven wraps are Bring It Baby's specialty, however Vanessa can assist with many other carriers.

Classes may be conducted in various locations or held at Full Circle Birth Collective's Edmonton office. 

The fee for a scheduled class varies according to class, which lasts 1.5-2 hours and covers yourself, plus one additional person interested in learning (i.e.. your partner, a family member, another mama friend). If additional individuals would like to join your class with you, an extra $30.00 per person will be charged.
